Street Glows
 
Hey guys..
I was thinking about buying some Red Gold Line Street Glows for my 02 Accord, and was wondering where i should mount them, I looked under the car and it is mostly flat so there isnt really a place for the lights to be protected... i guess this wont be a prob when i drop it for the back and sides but in the front the lights would hit the ground when going over a bump... ne suggestions?? ne kit i can buy?

I have the Liteglow pro series. It's pretty bright. I mounted the front bulb inside the front bumper on my 2000 gsr (I removed the mud flap and put it inside there, secured it, and replaced the flap). Don't know if that helps you.

guprestyle 10-27-2002 12:06 AM

i was thinkin about putting it in between the bumper, but would it shine on the ground then? If anyone has a 1998-2002 accord wit underbody lights, plz let me kno how u put them on, or ne1 wit ideas...

accord98lx 11-10-2002 05:47 PM

Lol..Isnt all neon colors light illegal? At least from the exterior lights..like underbody.

guprestyle 11-10-2002 08:02 PM

I heard from someone that its not illegal unless they can see the actual tube lights.

i think it all depends on your state/province and local dickhea......*cough* i mean cops

TeriyakiBroccoli 11-11-2002 12:42 AM

jfyi, all neon colors are illegal in california while the car is in motion, regardless if u can see the tube or not. If the car is parked, then it's perfectly legal.

jonhenry15 11-22-2002 09:25 PM

In Connecticut and in most states any light, exterior or interior, is illegal when the car is in motion. I believe the wording of the law is something to the extent of "anything that will distract a driver". But I think it does depend a lot on the local cops...

Also, this might work:

If you get pulled over, just say "Oh I'm sorry officer, I'm coming back from a car event where I had it on while my car was parked at the show. I guess I forgot to turn them off. Won't happen again."

veX 11-23-2002 02:28 PM

The problem with a lot of neons I see is these kids go around showing the bulbs. WRONG WRONG WRONG. The best way to have your car glow is to hide them very, very well so all you see is the glow UNDER the car, not on the sides. Why doesn't anyone know this??

SofaKingSmooth 11-24-2002 10:06 PM

It is all a matter of circumstance. you can get away with anything and get introuble for anything.... comming to mississippi from california i see how people here get away with the undercar lights. i think that as long as the bulbs are hidden and you are not doing anything else wrong the cops will be ok with it but expect an extra fine if you are being stupid and get pulled over :rambo:

00CivicGirl 12-09-2002 12:16 AM

my side neons are impossible to hide on my civic. my front and back are hidden extremely well!!
and in VA ALL neons are ILLEGAL

ShEaNy 12-09-2002 12:35 AM

its tough to hide those things under the car with out seeing some of the tube....most cars have a flat part nearer to the edge(outer) of it rather then closer inward..lol..if u know what i mean....but whatever works....i want some bright so u can see em good on the ground not just this light coming from underneath and not even bright at all on the ground...:pukey :no: :yes:

Quevv 12-10-2002 06:52 PM

As far as I know neons are not illegal in NE but it might just be that our local cops are f****** idiots and don't know their own laws:no:

holla

i have lite glo pro series on my bmw in blue, and the same setup in green on our Civic.

great kit....excellent lighting.

when we first installed them the lights were sticking out...we immediatly fixed that. looks so much better when they are hidden.
it was a lot easier to hide mine than his because i have side skirts. mine got tucked behind my sideskirts.

TeriyakiBroccoli 12-15-2002 04:30 PM

I was thinking about getting some neons, but I'm not really sure... everybody has blue, red, green..... I'm not sure what color I want to go with.. I was thinking about white since my car IS white, but I'm not sure that'll look good at all :\

00CivicGirl 12-15-2002 10:29 PM

Here is what white on white will look like:

in CA:
it is ESPECIALLY illegal to have red or blue neon glow under car lights while in motion. the reason being, medical aide or law enforcement cars emit the same type of lighting in an emergency. it is still illegal to drive, with any glow underglow lights, but you might get hassled less about it as long as it isnt blue or red.

it is LEGAL to have any color street glow as long as the car is parked.

just emphasizing the law a bit. and i reccomend hooking up a toggle switch to it and mounting it on your dash somewhere. that way if you decide to be stupid, when you see a cop, if he doesent see you first, you can flip the lights off.

TeriyakiBroccoli 12-23-2002 07:21 PM

I guess if i choose to get the white ones, I'll have to find some way to mount 8 tubes underneath the body (2 pairs of each)

Grip72 12-23-2002 08:12 PM

8 tubes!!! HOLY that's alot of tubesa..i have 4 and its fine. but i think 6 would be better...whatever.i'm dumb anyways

00CivicGirl 12-24-2002 10:29 AM

why 8 tubes? isnt that a little on the "bright" side. anyways, TeriyakiBroccoli you may think my neons are weak on my car, but that is what you did want to get i believe right?? also on a picture the lights are always dimmer than standing there looking at it. juts fyi

TeriyakiBroccoli 12-24-2002 02:34 PM

I did want to get white, yes, but thats a harder color to notice eh? Why not let it stand out a tad? :D Merry Christmas everybody.

foreverzz 01-07-2003 11:38 AM

liteglo is coming out with a new LED underbody kit.
i have a sample kit here...they are very nice.

nice and bright.

TonitrusEN 01-07-2003 11:59 AM

Im goign with an orange street glow kit, no one does orange :)

JamieS697 01-09-2003 11:55 PM

my street glow are awesome when they work;(
They have some problem when the weather is bad or cold they have condensation in them and the guy that installed them is just an a$$ bc he keeps on trying to sell me new tubes. Newayz is there a way to water proof them????

pdiggitydogg 01-11-2003 11:17 PM

everything is illegal in michiganLOL

JamieS697 01-12-2003 11:51 PM

I know i have a ticket to show for it!!:busted:

foreverzz 01-16-2003 02:20 PM

if there's condensation then that means there's air getting inside the tubes somehow.

check the connections and look for cracks.
